Window sharing instead of screen sharing, possible?

Postby FilippoUni » 05 Feb 2009 09:28

Hi all,
as you can read in the title I'm looking for a way to stream the content of a window instead of the content of all (or even a portion) of the screen...
This is already possible using videolan or do I need to code it? If not, how could I do?

Thanks in advance for answers and this incredible app :wink:

P.S. Sorry for very bad english

Not yet possible, but soon, you will be able to select a sub-part of the screen.

I'm pleased to be answered by a admin and thank you if you move the discussion in the right board, but probably i've not explayned well myself: i don't want to track a (fixed) sub-part of the screen but link the application to a moving-window so i haven't to follow it by myself...
Is it possible perhaps building a plugin or anything else?

It doesn't exists yet in VLC.

Streaming a window given its ID would be an easy extension. But finding the ID of the window is not trivial for normal users.

Yes, and we lack windows developers IIRC :D

So it's possible... Where can I found something about how to code it?
